Sunset Aerials
We're welcoming the new year with a new blog post full of aerials! I know it's the middle of winter... and even though these are winter captures, hopefully you can be transported for just a second and imagine a warm and cozy summer sunset at the beach.
Most of the winter thus far has been plagued with polar vortices, temperatures dipping into the single digits, strong winds, and frozen water. But there was a break in the chaos just before Christmas when the sky air was calm, and the temperature a more appropriate 34°. I took a venture down to South Kingstown Town Beach in Matunuck to walk along the sand and enjoy a sunset.
I brought the drone along for a few captures both directly overhead and also landscapes of the scene. The ocean had been flat for about a week, so whatever waves you see pictured are only ankle high! I was able to drone down to 15ft above the water without fear of tumbling into the ocean below, either from large swell or tumultuous winds.
What a beautiful evening to capture a winter sunset at the beach! I think the last one here is my favorite from the day.href="https://catebrownphoto.photoshelter.com/gallery/Aerial/G00006I.Ft0I_.PE/C0000p0RWWX4s9N8">Aerial Gallery

Warm Getaways
I had been eagerly awaiting this winter season. Here in New England, the winter months can be rather frigid, but for those of us who don’t mind the exhaustive work of climbing into 6 mil wetsuits or ice-cream-headache cold waters, it’s the eagerly anticipated winter months that bring the biggest swells. We had snow before the New Year and water temps quickly started approaching 40°F. But in typical fashion, as soon as the long awaited winter months arrived, I was craving a break from the cold gray in favor of a warm water reprieve.
Board Portraits // Experiments
I've been wanting to shoot more portraits lately, but in combination with the surf community that I've been so involved with the past year. My good friend, Kevin Tanner, behind Soudnings Surf Co creates some gorgeous handcrafted boards. He does all his own shaping, resin work, and glassing, and I wanted to photograph some beautiful boards to highlight his craftsmanship as well as portraits of my friends who ride them. I decided to do board portraits.
Snowy Surf Sessions
A lot of us enjoy the warm weather, but a select few of us still enjoy (or perhaps tolerate) the cold weather. And nothing quite says winter like a fresh snowfall! On the rare occasion Rhode Island experiences more than one inch of snow while there's swell in the water, you can find a select few of dedicated riders on the shore eager to have a snow session.
